History
editIt was founded in 2001[1] as a joint venture of Italian holding company DeAgostini and Spanish mass media holding Grupo Planeta with the initial intent of primarily focusing on the Spanish and Portuguese (Iberian) markets.[2][3] Both groups had already joined forces with the publishing house Planeta DeAgostini. According to president Maurizio Carlotti, it was born out as a split from Planeta 2010.[4] Upon the time of the company's rollout, its distribution arm in Spain included DeAPlaneta Home Video, Planeta Junior, Planeta D, while its production arm consisted of film production outfit Cometa PC and TV-movie production outfit Prodigius, a joint venture with Mediapro.[2] In 2003, DeAPlaneta and Mikado created Argentinian production outfit KDM Films along with Oscar Kramer.[5] In April 2006, the company announced the launch of an international sales division.[6]
